Block…you are 5’3″?…you look taller. Also, Alaska has seen Kiss of the Spider Woman? At first I was like, I get that joke, then I was all like that is not a movie that is on tv all the time, so he must own it, then I was like, hold up bro, I’ve seen that movie, it’s Raul Julialicious. And now I’m all like does that make me gay? And then I was all like, stop say “I was all like”…and now I’m like…what was I saying?

Also re: that same radio show, glad to find out some awesome dudes in hip-hop don’t smoke weed. It’s a little depressing, considering how affluent it is in hip-hop culture, to personally not smoke weed yet love everything (almost everything) else about the culture. Sometimes I get the feeling that to be a head you have to puff the snaps.

In fact I just got on a huge flamewar with a youtube troll (I was bored) because he was trolling some other dude that commented on one of your songs (carnivores unite, don’t go read my comments… uploader deleted half of them and the troll got banned so it’s very disjointed).

The original commenter posted how it sucked that a lot of the music he liked was generally aimed towards/appreciated by potheads and that you don’t need marijuana to enjoy good music. I’m sure non-smokers had the same frustrations in the Great Jazz Era as well. A lot of musicians during the Great Jazz Era also turned to heroin because the greats like Bird and Miles were doing it. Anyway just wanted to say thanks for being a reinforcing influence.

1)By everyone you mean aesop? I guess Rob counts too but they work together so I dunno if I’d count that.
2)It wasn’t a matter of “letting” me. He wanted to make all the beats. He’s gotten pretty heavily into production recently so it kinda makes sense. He’s good too.
3)2099

I know Evidence wasn’t on Jux, but it’s just seems like Rhymesayers is snatching up fools from other labels.
Yeah, I dig Aesop’s beats too. I agree he’s definitely multifaceted. It just seemed like you guys were a team, like Slug and Ant, Primo and Guru, Bert and Ernie…

Block I just downloaded the bench warmer podcast and it was pretty cool. Is there anyway to download the other 2 or can you only stream them or whatever from the links? I’d really like to listen to them in my car so any help is appreciated. Thanks again
